I've installed Avira in Windows 7 on both my E6500 and my Mini 9 and on both machines it removes my Office 2007, Skype, and a few other icons I can't remember off the top of my head. This is from the taskbar and start menu. If I go into properties it doesn't allow me the option to change the icon either. I end up having to add the shortcuts in manually. This is with a couple of builds including 7100 and 7229. Anyone else seen this? Is there something I'm missing?

Strangely enough I've seen this on Windows 7 RC and Microsoft Security Essentials do the exact same thing. However, after a few hours they all came back to normal and stayed that way. My guess was that after installing Microsofts AV software it ran some kind of scan/file inventory check which caused this but, like I said, it didn't last very long.

Unfortunately mine don't come back. It happened instantly after install, before it had any chance to run a scan. I wish mine was temporary. Anyway, thanks for the reply.
